[@avakristelle2243]

I’m living vicariously through your video! Love this content! I’m going on my 1st cruise on the horizon oct22-28 this year! Did y’all have to pay extra for the alcoholic drinks?

[@kattelise]

Thank you for watching 🤗 Drinks are not included but you can purchase the Cheers Package, this allows you a max of 15 alcoholic drinks per day, as well as unlimited soda, juices, and specialty drinks at the cafe like lattes, milkshakes, etc. The package costs around $60 per day, and each drink averages around $10.50. It’s worth it if you know you’ll be drinking that or more! Can’t wait for you to go 🥳

[@jl4869]

My last cruise was with Cookie he is hilarious!

[@amayareid964]

Going on this cruise in May! Watching your Vlog made me even more excited! Did you get the CHEERS package? We're still trying to debate if we're going to purchase it or just pay for our drinks while there.

[@kattelise]

We did get the cheers package! If you buy it before embarkation day, it’s $60/day and each drink averages about $10.50. So if you think you’ll each drink about 5-6 drinks a day, plus soda and specialty coffee at the cafe, then yes, it’s worth it.

[@kickingitwiththerooks]

So much fun! We loveeeee cruising! Awesome Vlog! Yea Carnival should add more to the pizza. It’s cool when there’s nothing else to eat (so late) 😂😂😂. What tags did you use for this Vlog if you don’t mind me asking?

[@kattelise]

Thanks for watching! ☺️ After those drinks in Jamaica, we were out for the count and had to eat pizza because we missed dinner 😂 I didn’t use tags for this video! I forgot lol

[@kickingitwiththerooks]

@@kattelise Girl yes that pizza come in handy then 🫣🤭

[@ReallyBeenBossedUp]

Thanks so much for video! How many nights was this cruise for?

[@kattelise]

Thanks for watching! This was 6-day trip, round trip from Miami

[@sethr1084]

Our family is going to be taking this exact same cruise. Enjoy the video.. I’m curious if you all purchased the cheers package if so, if you thought it was worth it. If you didn’t, what was the average price for a mixed drink? Thanks

[@kattelise]

Thanks for watching! ☺️ We did get the cheers package and it’s worth it for us as we definitely drink more than 4 drinks a day. Each drink averages about $10.50 but with the service charge and gratuity, it’s about $15! So if you’re having about 5 drinks a day, the package is worth it. Plus, special coffee, sodas, and 16oz water bottles are included! Hope this helps, enjoy your trip 🥳

[@pierrelabriel9223]

You're video was dope! I will be on the same exact ship and stops in August! Is there anything you recommend we do on the ship?

[@kattelise]

Thank you for watching! I definitely recommend the SkyRide and the steakhouse 👍🏽 They also have a big game show, you can’t miss it

I loved ALL THIS!! Thank you!! Did you book all of your excursions through Carnival? We are going in July. Hopefully we have the same cruise director🤞🏾. I want to do the same ones you two did but like you IM WILL NOT BE BOBSLEDDING! And another question, did you say the food and drinks were included with the dolphin excursion?

[@kattelise]

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰 We booked the Ocho Ríos and Cozumel excursions through Carnival. The island tour in Grand Cayman was just something we did last minute when we got to the port. Yes, the food and drinks were included with the Dolphin excursion! Keven enjoyed the fajitas and nachos, i didn’t like the burger very much 😂

[@kaileekennedy6886]

I’m taking the same one in December. I plan to stay in Miami the night before. Was getting to the hotel from the airport and to the port easy?

[@kattelise]

We stayed at the Sheraton Miami Airport Hotel which is extremely close to the airport…but we still had to take an uber! I don’t think you can walk to the hotel but it was just a 5min ride.

[@sabrinaownthethrone]

Any tips on spending money? Me and hubby going on our first cruise. We're most of the places you guys ate at on the cruise all inclusive?

[@kattelise]

Yes! We only paid for steakhouse which I believe is around $40-50 now, and this was only to take advantage of the complimentary bottle of wine they give (but you have to ask for it!). We really focus on bringing cash for tipping bartenders, etc. While in port, we may pay around $25-30 for any island tour or for a cab to the beach and maybe another $30 for a few souvenirs. I budget maybe $500 for a week long cruise, but I never spend all of it.

[@audman1394]

What month did you do this cruise?weather looks beautiful

[@kattelise]

We went at the end of October! It’s a hit or miss as it’s hurricane season but obviously we got lucky 😎 It was also very hot.

Hi there ,did you get the excurstions with carnival or on your own ? Thank you ❤

[@kattelise]

We booked our excursions through Carnival! The tour in grand cayman was bought in the spur of the moment. The ports we visited have a time difference and we didn’t want to risk being left at port for any confusion 😂

[@stephanieortega6709]

Heyyyy going on this same cruise do you know if I can book the excursions when I get to the islands ?

[@kattelise]

We booked our excursions for Jamaica and Cozumel in advance through the Carnival website. For Grand Cayman, we just booked something we found when we got to the port. Those are usually cheaper but if they run late, the ship won’t wait for you! Also, the fun excursions may sell out so I recommend booking in advance ☺️

[@JessikaHolmes]

Hi!!! I’m taking this same cruise/ship in August. Do you remember which two nights were the formal nights? We’re thinking about specialty dining and wanted to avoid reservations on those two evenings. Thanks!

[@kattelise]

It’s typically the second night and second to last night of the trip. I definitely recommend booking the steakhouse on the first night and asking for the complimentary wine!

[@JessikaHolmes]

@@kattelise Thanks so much!! So it was the second night and then the Cozumel night? And thanks for the recommendation! Did you try the Hibachi? We were looking at that dining option as well.

[@waynegraves6570]

What is ship time nd regular time ?

[@kattelise]

The ship left from Miami, FL so we were on EST time zone but the ports we went to were all an hour behind. So they emphasize ship time versus local time to make sure you’re back on the ship on time. For example, in Grand Cayman, we were to be back on board at 3:15pm ship time which is 2:15pm local time. A lot of people get left behind for not paying attention 😬
